Default USB Stage Mic

Subject-Was: 5v Condenser Stage Mic

I opted for a Samson USB mic. There was a Nady that looked like a Stage mic,
cost two thirds as much, and doubled the sampling rate, and I figure for
noise...The important thing is what you do about electrical and ambient
noise. I will still use Nero WaveEdit's noise profiling and reduction
system, and everything works better if little noise in a recording in the
first place. If the dijitizer is well-designed, then it will add damn near
zero electrical noise. I wonder if there is some way in which I can separate
electrical and ambient noise. The samson had a "super-cardioid" pick-up
pattern. I do not need 96kHz sampling rates (Nady), unless I want to pick up
bat echolocation chirps. Then the Samson comes with a copy of Cakewalk, too,
and this is a dial-up account, so I do not want to be downloading three
gigabytes or whatever they're up to, these days. 3GB was last year's
version.
